Dear Lubomir,
I’m sorry,
I was making fun. I thought it was obvious.

Best,

First, regarding the nature of the artefact, and second, regarding the nature of design research. The fact that you reply means that at least, you got engaged. And the fact that you do not agree doesn't bother me at all. Even better, I will have grounds to continue grinding about this. The example I used was an exaggeration, but evidently it made a case.

It was intended to show the importance of the discussion of knowledge containers, to illustrate several other issues that emerge in that light, and to rebel against some common notions on this list. Here I might be a minority, but this doesn't bother me at all. Sometimes I like to be a minority, in the minority.

I trace these developments since a major discussion in June-July 2006. And I trace it on several discussion lists and design conferences.

These days it is difficult for me to figure out who is joking and who is delivering some strange staff. By the way, my impression is that you don't paint pretty pictures in lieu of dissertations, unless you are engaged in creative scholarship. Which has its own place in academia and contributes immensely to teaching design, as long as it is understood well. I have nothing against using creative scholarship for tenure and promotion. Ten years ago I participated in writing a white paper on the use of creative scholarship for tenure and promotion in interior design programs. My defence in favour of this activity was firm. But, this activity and its contributions are different from design research. Let's be honest here.

Do objects and be confident that they are the same as a dissertation, that the research embedded in your picture is equal to sequences of equations, that you will have peers ready to accept, read, understand and properly be able to see knowledge inside your equations (pictures), your graphics your images your propositions your objects for the world your,… your your , newly … sorry, gasp… the Humboldt Squids got me. goodbye, farewell … dear … gulp, gasp RESIST.
